False. Kim Hughes got fired for leaking that LaMarcus wasn't re-signing with us. Olshey obviously fucked up at the time.
I would much rather the Blazers start a ring of fame type thing. If they had that i would have no problem with adding him at all.
I wouldn't even go that far for Aldridge. I'd start with: Roy Sabonis Kersey Buck Williams Sheed Duckworth I guess maybe Aldridge may squeak in there.
Every year Dame stays loyal to Portland is another year Aldridge looks worse in comparison. We're pretty merciless to Drexler, who was a better player who brought us more success before he ditched us for Texas. There are good basketball players who happened to spend time in Portland, and then there are Blazer legends. They both made their choice. Portlandia remembers.
Just remembered that Aldridge gave up over SEVEN MILLION DOLLARS to get his buyout from the Spurs... Ouch.
I really hope we don't retire his number. The guy bailed on us right when we could have maybe had something special. Screw that guy.
